A Healthy Vegetarian Enchilada Bake Recipe

I love meatless meals that you don’t even notice are meatless. This Easy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchilada Bake is one of those meals. It has tons of flavor, color, texture, and cheese, so you won’t even miss the meat, and neither will your family. I think that sweet potatoes and black beans are one of my favorite savory pairs, and they go so very well together in this fun dish. I think the sweet creaminess of the sweet potatoes is perfect in a Tex-Mex kind of dish because it compliments all the heat and smokiness so well. You’ll love how easy this is to make, too. Instead of rolling a bunch of individual enchiladas, I just made this dish layered like a lasagna. Some people call this kind of thing “enchilada stack” or “layered enchiladas,” but no matter what you call it, it tastes greats and is easy, one of my favorite combinations.

That’s how I stack them up. With a little tortilla tearing, you can cover the pan really well!

How do I make homemade red enchilada Sauce?

I love my homemade red enchilada sauce for a million reasons and I’d highly recommend trying it! One of the reasons I make enchiladas pretty seldom is because I never have the sauce! I started makinghomemade red enchilada sauceandhomemade green enchilada saucea few years ago, and I’ve never gone back. Both recipes are super simple to make and they freeze great, so make a double batch to have on hand for later. This easy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchilada Bake is easy to make gluten-free too. Just be sure to use agluten-free flour blendin my amazing homemade red enchilada sauce and check the other ingredients to make sure they comply.

Is it better to roast or saute vegetables?

Depends on the recipe. Both are good options, but for these enchilidas I prefer roasting. When you roast the sweet potatoes, onion, and bell peppers with spices and olive oil makes them soft, brings out more of their natural sweetness, and gives them a bit of smokiness, all of which is great in this enchilada bake.

What do I serve with enchiladas?

This dish is great with some fresh sliced avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and even a little sour cream on top. You can serve it with just about anything, but I’d highly recommend some fresh vegetables, lettuce, pico, or something along those lines on the side. You are going to love it!
